Chapter 19 [Missing Arc]: Investigation
Last Updated:
2024-10-29 19:42:56"Is it too tight, Claire?" Kinilabutan ako sa pagbulong ni Aldrich sa tenga ko. Nasa likod ko siya ngayon at sobrang lapit niya sa akin.
Tsk! Do we really have to do this right now?
Nilingon ko siya, kahit magkalapit ang mukha namin ay masama pa rin ang tingin ko sa kanya. "If you would be the killer," sabi ko. "Would you ask that to your victim?" tanong ko sa kanya.
"If you are my victim, I would ask you," nakangiti niyang sabi sa akin at mas hinigpitan niya ang pagkakatali niya sa kamay ko.
I winced at the slight pain I felt, but I didn't say anything. "Kailangan mo ba talagang gawin sa akin 'to?" tanong ko sa kanya nang magpunta siya sa harap ko.
He is standing in front of me and he's also looking down at me. Sa

Si Lucas Santiago ang kumatok sa pinto ng SSG Office. Mas matangkad nang kaunti si Aldrich kaysa kay Lucas, pero mukha silang higante sa paningin ko, siguro kasi maliit ang height ko. Isa sa mga heartthrob si Lucas Santiago, siya ang Vice Captain ng Volleyball team, at best friend ni Aldrich to be exact. Magka-year sana sila ni Aldrich ngayon pero naaksidente si Lucas last year, kaya magka-batch na kami ngayon. Laging magulo ang buhok ni Lucas, pero hindi no'n nasisira ang kagwapuhan niya. "Hindi ka pa nakapalit?" tanong ni Lucas kay Aldrich nang makapasok siya sa SSG Office. Kinuha ko ang silya na pinag-upuan ko kanina at ibinalik ko ito sa long table. "Hindi pa," sagot ni ni Aldrich pagkatapos ay saglit siyang tumingin sa akin. "Claire and I were discussing something important." Nabaling naman ang tingin

"You're spacing out again, Claire," Aldrich said to me. I was pulled out of my reverie when I heard his voice, so I looked at him. Tapos na kami sa first part ng interview. "Ah, about the second part of the interview, it's all questions we obtained from the students. You can also say that these are fan questions, and I think they will be happy to know your preference.” Yeah, since lagi niyang kaming tinatanggihan sa part na ‘to noon kapag iniinterview namin siya, sana naman ngayon ay pumayag na siya. Last year naman na niya ito sa Louise Academy eh, maggiging kj pa ba siya? Ngumiti si Aldrich sa akin. "Walang problema sa akin, Claire," sabi niya. Tumango ako at ibinaling ko na ang mga mata ko sa papel na hawak ko. Mabuti naman at pumayag na siya, sa wakas! Panigurado

"Ah, so ikaw ang girlfriend ng apo ko." Ngumiwi ako sa sinabi ng matandang babae na kaharap ko. "Ah hindi po ako girlfriend ni President," sabi ko. "La, she's my Secretary," sabi naman ni Aldrich. Nasa office kami ng restaurant na siyang pagmamay ari ng lola ni Aldrich na si madame Christina Ludivico-Arellano. Ipinakilala ako ni Aldrich sa lola niya sa hindi ko malamang dahilan, maybe it's to pay respect kasi sagot ng lola niya ang kinain ko. Akala ko pa naman mauubos ko ang pera ni Aldrich. I've been badly waiting to see his face in despair. Yung tipong mapapaluhod siya dahil inubos ko ang pera niya sa pagkain. "So kailan ka magiging girlfriend ni Aldrich?” tanong na naman ni madame Christina.
The Book of Cheating Explaining the Arcs by MissAlbularyo
Hi! If you're reading my story, thank you very much. I specifically have this portion to explain my chapters. Chapters 20 and 21 don't have the [Missing Arc] tag to them despite them haveing the same chapter titles. Originally, Chapter 22 would also not have the [Missing Arc] tag, but I did put it anyways since it that's the time Claire is abducted. Don't be confused with the Arc tags, if a chapter has no [XXX Arc] tag, it means it's a chapter not related to the case that the FL and ML are solving. I also originally planned about 7 arcs in this story, and previous arcs might be repeated, but I'm still polishing my drafts. And I have to edit the chapters as soon as I reach Chapter 50, I'll just edit my grammatical errors so no changes in the plot. I'm not really good with my English, so I hope you understand hehe. Feel free to comment on my story. Criticize my story to your hearts content, but I only accept constructive criticism. Anyways, that's all.

ALDRICH FEN ARELLANO'S POINT OF VIEW Claire: I won't be coming to the SSG office today, President. Tatrabahuin namin ni kuya Andrei yung article tungkol sa'yo. I'll also schedule a photoshoot for you, so please be prepared anytime starting tomorrow. Aldrich: Okay, Claire. Aldrich: Nakauwi ka na ba, Claire? Aldrich: We need to talk about the Ragnarok case, and the five orange seeds. Claire is active 3 hours ago Aldrich: Claire Jimenez I sent those messages hours ago. Why isn't she replying?

Saglit akong napasinghap nang mapagtanto ko na nasa rooftop ako ng John Venice Building. Sa dulo ng rooftop nakatayo si Cassandra at nakangiti siya sa akin. "C-Cassandra?" tawag ko sa kanya. "Claire..." malungkot siyang ngumiti sa akin. "You saw it, didn't you? You saw everything." Hindi ko alam ang sinasabi niya sa akin. "Anong ibig mong sabihin, Cassandra? Hindi pa ba sapat na tinulungan kita sa mga pinagawa mo sa akin? Bakit mo pa ako ginugulo?" Saglit siyang tumitig, pero inulit niya lang ang mga sinasabi niya. "Claire, you saw it didn't you?" "Anong nakita ko?" tanong ko sa kanya pero tinalikuran na niya ako, at sa isang iglap ay tumalon siya. "CASSANDRA!! H'WAG!!" Mala
The Book of Cheating Chapter 25 [Missing Arc]: A Comrade
Tahimik kaming lahat sa SSG office dahil kay kuya Andrei. Sa totoo lang mas malakas ang tensyon kay kuya Andrei at kay Aldrich. Nagtitigan lang kasi silang dalawa, kami naman ni Kaizer ay nakikiramdam lang. "Hindi naman ako tanga, Aldrich," biglang sabi ni kuya Andrei. "Binigay ko si Claire sa'yo kasi akala ko makakatulong ito sa ECHO. At hindi ko naman na siguro kailangan sabihin sa harap ni Claire ang pangalawang dahilan kung bakit ako pumayag sa gusto mo, hindi ba?" Bumuntong-hininga naman si Aldrich. "I hired Claire for a different purpose. Don't be mad at her, it's all my doing." "Hindi ako magagalit sa anak ko," sabi ni kuya Andrei. "Pero sa'yo ako magagalit. Ragnarok Organization huh. Bakit hindi mo sinabi sa akin 'to? Ang usapan dapat alam ko lahat ng nangyayari kay Claire sa SSG."
The Book of Cheating Chapter 26 [Missing Arc]: A Letter from the Leader
Pangatlong araw na ito ng kalbaryo ko nang bumalik ako sa school mula sa "bakasyon" ko. Nung una okay pa sa akin na bumubuntot siya sa akin. Pero to the point na ihahatid niya ako sa classroom namin at susunduin niya ako pagkatapos ng morning and afternoon classes namin. This is extreme. "Eat your veggies, Claire," seryosong sabi ni Aldrich sa akin. I squinted my eyes at him. Yung totoo, anong ginagawa niya sa tabi ko ngayong lunch?! My friends giggled, but I glared at them. Simula nung bumalik ako sa school talagang nag-iba si Aldrich. Bigla na lang niyang sinabi na babantayan niya lahat ng mga galaw ko. Syempre umangal ako, pero napa-oo na ako dahil sumabat si kuya Andrei na kailangan ko raw 'yon pansamantala. In short, pinagtulungan nila akong dalawa.

ALDRICH FEN ARELLANO POV"That's impossible," I told her, but she did not argue.She only sighed and took her burger again. She stared at her food, and I know she's hesitating if she should still eat or not. "Sa totoo lang, gulat din ako nung nakita ko ang source ng mga info.""Bakit magkakaroon ng gano'ng inpormasyon si Cassandra? That's unlikely of her."Claire smiled sheepishly, obviously disagreeing to my remarks. "You never truly know a person just because you were with them for a long time. Ako ba in-expect mo na magkakaroon ng maraming impormasyon? Hindi naman, di ba? I think, at first, you see me as kuya Andrei's loyal dog."I didn't correct her even though she thought wrong about my views on her. I always thought of her as Andrei's loyal friend, because she's the only person Andrei respects outside our circle.But she has a point. Maybe I was really wrong about my perception on Cassandra. Maybe Cassandra was really trying to join the Ragnarok Organization. But why? What was

"That's the 15th time you did that, Claire." Sinamaan ko ng tingin si Aldrich nang punahin na naman niya ang paghikab ko. Sa mga ginawa namin buong umaga, hindi ko alam kung paano niya pa nagawang makahanap ng oras para bilangin kung ilang beses akong humikab. "Pwede bang tigilan mo ako?" At sinabayan ko iyon ng pag-irap sa kanya. "Wala ako sa mood na pakinggan ang mga pagpupuna mo. Hwag ngayon na inaantok pa ako." Humikab ako ulit. "That's the 16th time." "Tutal patapos na ang morning classes, kakain muna ako ng lunch," sabi ko sa kanya at nauna na akong maglakad. Mabuti nang iwan siya nang sa ganon ay magkaroon ako ng ginhawa. Mamamatay ako nang maaga sa kanya. Humabol siya sa akin. "Hindi ka sasabay sa akin?" Saglit ko siyang sinulyapan at humikab ulit ako. "Bakit kita sasabayan mag lunch? Close ba tayo?" Mahina siyang tumawa. "According to the rumors, I am your boyfriend." "You are not one to believe rumors, President." "It's Aldrich for you, Claire. And besides, I thi

Sapo ko ang ulo ko habang pinipilit kong kainin ang pagkain na inihanda ni tita Agatha para sa agahan. Pakiramdam ko ay tutumba ako kahit na nakaupo ako. Minabuti ko na lang na ayusin ang aking postura nang sa gano'n ay hindi makapansin si tita Agatha a may nararamdaman akong hindi maganda. Across to where I am sitting, Aldrich only squinted at his breakfast. He then took a cup of coffee beside his plate and took a sip. Matapos no'n ay nabaling ang kanyang tingin sa akin at binigyan ako ng matamis na ngiti. "You don't know how grateful I am for your help during the weekend, Claire," sabi niya sa sinserong boses. But Aldrich being the two-faced, manipulative bastard that he is, I should think otherwise. Nagsalita siyang muli, "I wish you would be able to help me again next time." Next time my ass! Feeling naman niya gagawin namin ito ulit. "Oh I hope next time you would call for kuya Andrei, or better yet take Kaizer with you," I

I said to him, "That is not a question." "But I still want you to tell me. I will ask another question later." Matagal kong tinitigan si Aldrich. Alam ba niya na personal kong hindi inilagay ang impormasyon ng Ragnarok Organization sa BOC ko? I don't know if I should lie, or I should tell him. But I chose the latter. "From the information I got, the Ragnarok Organization was established three years ago." "Hindi two years ago?" tanong ni Aldrich na nakakunot. Umiling ako sa kanya, "Hindi ako nakakuha ng impormasyon tungkol kay Skoll, pero alam ko ang objective nila." Mataman na tumitig si Aldrich sa akin. "At ano naman 'yon, Claire?"

"H-Hindi ko na kaya...tama na...ayaw ko na!" It's already four o'clock in the morning, and I know to myself that I am already exhausted. Pero kahit sobrang pagod na ang katawan ko ay pinilit ko pa rin ang sarili ko na tumakas. Mukhang napansin ako ng kasama ko kaya ang sabi niya, "Claire, what are you doing? Where are you going?" Hindi ko siya sinagot at literal akong gumapang sa sahig, papunta sa pinto, para matakasan ko si Aldrich Fen Arellano. Hindi ko na alintana kung madumihan ang damit pangtulog ko, gusto ko na talagang umalis sa lugar na 'to! Sa isip ko ay minumura ko si kuya Andrei, kasalanan niya lahat ng ito. Sisiguraduhin kong hindi na siya sisikatan ng araw sa Monday! Nagsalita ulit si Aldrich sa likod, "Clai

Dinala ako ni Aldrich sa ECHO Office, hindi ko alam kung bakit dito kami nagpunta, pero halata ko sa paghinga niya na galit na galit siya. He loudly banged the door, it even made me startled. Mabilis na bumukas ang pinto at tumambad sa amin si kuya Andrei na kumakain ng pizza. The moment his eyes set on us, he suddenly choked and started coughing. Nahulog pa niya yung hawak niyang pizza at napaatras siya palayo sa amin. He signalled someone to close the door, but no one dared to close the door on the king. At habang hawak pa rin ni Aldrich ang kamay ko ay hinila niya ako papasok sa loob ng ECHO Office. Marami kaagad sa mga members ang nagbulungan nang makita nila kami na magkahawak kamay. Na-conscious tuloy ako kaya pinilit kong alisin ang kamay ko sa pagkakaha
The Book of Cheating Chapter 31: An Article Gone Wrong pt. 1
CLAIRE JIMENEZ'S POV Before I went to school today, kuya Aldrich reminded me not to drop by the SSG office. Ngayon kasi namin ire-release ang magazine namin kung saan nakalagay ang isang importanteng article tungkol sa kagalang-galang na si Aldrich Fen Arellano. Kailangan kong tumulong sa pag-distribute kaya sinabihan ko na kaagad si Aldrich. He gave his go signal to me, so I didn't reply. The task wasn't really that hectic since I am with kuya Andrei. Ang problema lang namin ay ang mga estudyante na nag-uunahan na makakuha ng magazine na para bang mauubusan sila. Although I find it annoying, kuya Andrei looked pleased, as if it's going according to his plans. "Magandang ideya nga talaga na inilagay natin sa cover is Aldrich," sabi ni
The Book of Cheating Chapter 30: A Big Misunderstanding
ALDRICH FEN ARELLANO'S POV "Ah, naistorbo ko ata kayo," CJ, the Corps Commander, said. He turned his head away and he immediately closed the door. Silence filled the room, as Claire and I stared at each other. But she immediately avoided my gaze. "Aldrich, kailangan mo nang lumayo sa akin," sabi niya. Agad naman akong natauhan kaya mabilis akong lumayo sa kanya. Tinulungan ko rin siyang tumayo, pero pagkatapos no'n ay mabilis niya akong iniwasan. This is so embarrassing, and for me to not get affected, I tried my best to smile at her. "You really messed up today, Claire," I teased. But
